Wooley entered the store and raised an issue with his mobile phone, prosecutor Alex Bozman told the court.

Huddersfield's Kingsgate Centre

“He was refused a refund.The member of staff told him the handset on the inside was wet and not suitable for an exchange.

“He became abusive towards that staff member and made threats to put the windows through.”

The court was told that the 39-year-old’s behaviour escalated as he continued swearing.

He was asked by the store manager to calm down as there were children in the store.

Wooley ignored this request and several members of security staff attended to deal with him.

Mr Bozman said: “This didn’t defuse the situation and he continued being aggressive, flailing his arms round. He tried to grab one of the security guards around the crotch area and they took him to the ground.”

Magistrates were told that his behaviour led to at least one customer leaving the store.

In August last year he received a conditional discharge for disorderly behaviour.
